So I decided to write a 🧵 on book 📚 #censorship 🚫 in American 🇺🇸 schools 🚸

Try to only publish in society journals!
There is some chaos again in academic publishing, so a quick reminder that some societies manage their own journals in house & offer OA options, discounts, read & publish deals etc. Any "profits" go back into the Society to support charitable activities incl. education & funding #AcademicSky

Yes!
Please consider non-profit society journals when you choose a journal for submitting your work AND for reviewing/editing.
Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies...

Sorry guys, I needed to purge the old Botany Feed to remove some nsfw posts that were getting too frequent. I tried to correct the old one, but in the meantime, after some modifications, I deleted it by accident.
However, this is the patched version that should work well.
